Budget
Carol - 2008-2009 Budget (staff requests must address district COS)
• Staff Development/Educational (Carol Craven) $1,666
• Hardware/Software (Jeff Collett) $10,087 – purchases of projectors for 5th grade with money from 07-08 school year

Where are we with projectors/audio (LK will follow up with 5th grade teachers and Karen Catalano about what they would like to do) computer and cart in close proximity, speakers to be purchased based on success in K classrooms
Update Action Steps:
1. Requesting staff development from Tremont for staff support and development (Ideas include: using math meetings to share/answer projector questions, iPod sharing times)
2. Implementation of staff development for audio enhancement and video projection systems (Suggestions include: 3:00 inservice, Carol Craven has resources to share, perhaps a rotating inservice during the school day, VCR can be connected to projector)

Hand wipes cost – talk to Carol before proceding
